Océ Arizona 1280 GT

Flatbed printing to capture the imagination

Building on its market-leading predecessor, the new Océ Arizona® 1200 series true flatbed printer offers unparalleled image quality alongside outstanding versatility across both flexible and rigid media applications.

The ultimate print quality

The Océ Arizona 1200 series of printers, including the new Océ Arizona 1280 GT, takes the industry-leading Océ Arizona 400 series to a new level. The Océ Arizona 1280 GT represents the highest quality true flatbed printer designed for mid-volume users.

With its award-winning 8 channel Océ VariaDot Imaging Technology, the Océ Arizona 1280 GT can use Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks to deliver the smoothest highlights and quartertones for fine art and photographic applications, or it can use the proven CM2 ink configuration for fast and smooth production printing as demanded by sign and display applications.

Breathtaking application versatility

With the ability to print on a wide variety of media and objects, print service providers can capture revenue from a wide range of applications. The Océ Arizona 1280 GT includes white ink for printing on non-white or transparent media and varnish for access to high value applications using spot varnish. Enjoy offering applications including standard sign and display (POP/POS, retail signage and backlit signs) through to specialist applications where the decorated substrate is not meant primarily for display purposes, e.g. package prototyping, short run and custom packaging, membrane switch overlays, relief printing, and object decoration. Maximise revenues by creating complete full mixed-media campaigns with just one Océ Arizona 1280 GT.

Resolution

Variable droplet sizes from 6 to 42 picolitres. The ability to vary the drop size to 6 picolitres produces sharp images with smoother gradients and quartertones. The ability to jet larger droplets up to 42 picolitres produces uniform colors. The result is near-photographic quality with sharpness only before seen at resolutions of 1,440 dpi or higher. Text as small as 2 pt. is perfectly legible (with High Definition mode).

Canon Service & Support ensures the highest printer uptime enabling our customers to achieve their business goals. Several Canon Service Contract options, tuned to individual customer needs, are available.

Unique Technology

Océ VariaDot® grayscale imaging technology
Océ VariaDot™ imaging technology produces ink droplets from 6 to 42 picolitres resulting in superb image detail, smooth colour transitions and vivid, uniform solid colours. Light Cyan and Light Magenta deliver the smoothest highlights and quartertones for fine art and photographic applications, or the proven CM2 ink configuration for fast and smooth production printing as demanded by sign and display applications, or White and Varnish for superb application versatility. The print sharpness and print geometry over the entire flatbed is further enhanced by actively mapping the table and adjusting the pixel placement, called Active Pixel Placement Compensation.
